Recommendation/Reference Letter

A recommendation or reference letter is an additional document provided by a referee (e.g., teacher, supervisor, or head of department) to support your application for admission. This letter highlights your qualifications, skills, and character, serving as a crucial element in the evaluation process by your prospective university. 

Steps for Submitting Recommendation Letters:

1. Provide Referee Details:

   • During your online application, you will typically be asked to provide the names, email addresses, and designations of 2-3 individuals who can act as your referees.

2. University's Email Request:

   • After submitting your application, the university will usually contact your referees directly via email, requesting a letter of recommendation.

   • In some cases, referees may be asked to respond to specific questions via an online form, rather than submitting a traditional letter.

3. Guidance for Referees:

   • If the university does not provide specific guidelines, we advise to send the following templates to your referees. These templates will help them understand how to structure their letters effectively, ensuring that they provide the information most relevant to your application.
